Media Advisories

The best way to prevent measles is with vaccine. Anyone born ON or AFTER January 1, 1957 should receive two doses of the MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccine. If you were born after January 1, 1957 and do not have a blood test proving that you are already immune to measles, or have not had two doses of MMR, please call your healthcare provider and ask about vaccination. Anyone born BEFORE January 1, 1957 is generally considered immune to measles.
